Another female teacher charged

A Tennessee elementary school teacher has been charged with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape in connection with a alleged sexual relationship she had with a 13-year-old student.

Pamela Rogers Turner, 27, taught physical education and coached girls basketball at Centertown Elementary School in McMinnville, TN. Turner was recently divorced from Chris Turner, the head boys basketball coach at Warren County High School in McMinnville.While she was in the process of changing residences, police say Turner stayed with the student’s parents briefly.

Police say some of the incidents took place at school and some at the student’s home. The boy’s parents knew nothing about the sexual relationship at the time, they said. Turner will be arraigned Feb. 23. She faces up to 100 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
